Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

3 cups water
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 to 8 stalks green onions, finely chopped
1 cup bulgur, uncooked
4 cups spinach, washed and torn
1/3 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound giant shrimp, peeled and deveined
Lemon wedges, for garnish
1 bag mixed greens
10 grape tomatoes
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2-pound fresh mozzarella, sliced
Olive oil, for dressing
Balsamic vinegar, for dressing
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To make the risotto: In a medium saucepan, combine the water and salt and bring to a simmer. Keep warm over low heat. In a medium saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the green onions and cook until soft, about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the bulgur and cook until fluffy, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the warm water, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently until each portion is absorbed before adding the next, about 20 minutes total. Remove from heat. Add the spinach, mint, lemon rind, and lemon juice. Stir until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes. Keep the bulgur risotto warm until ready to serve.
  • To make the shrimp: In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and saute until soft, about 30 seconds. Add the salt, pepper, and shrimp, and saute until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • To make the salad: In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and toss together. Add oil and vinegar and salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Divide the Lemon-Mint Bulgur "Risotto" evenly among 4 small plates and arrange the Garlic Shrimp evenly over the "Risotto". Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired. Serve with Tossed Salad.

I'm not a huge fan of bulgur, but this dish was surprisingly good! The lemon and mint flavors really complemented the shrimp and salad.

This was a great recipe! I used brown rice instead of bulgur and it turned out great. The salad was also a nice addition.
